When dreams take flight
A simple Men's Club conversation at Villa Maria Unanderra set the wheels in motion for one resident’s lifelong dream to take flight. The Men’s Club, an initiative of Lifestyle Coordinator Siwa Baker, provides residents with a relaxed space to talk, connect and build friendships. When residents were invited to share a lifelong dream, Desmond Jacob revealed that he had always wanted to fly in a helicopter. With the Wings Over Illawarra Air Show coming up in Albion Park a few months later, Siwa wasted no time in reaching out to Touchdown Helicopters, sharing Desmond’s 'bucket list' request.
